Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses

Chapter 821: Chapter 813: Where is the Sword Venerable?

Su Ling was shrouded by Gu An’s Dao Intent, and the new memory of the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe surged into his mind. He dreamed again, and this dream lasted a long time. In the dream, he continuously cultivated the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, a process long and tedious, yet he had no time to think of other matters.

When he finally finished this long cultivation, and his consciousness cleared, he opened his eyes, no longer seeing that Illusion Realm nor Gu An.

He returned to the Heaven-Repairing Platform, surrounded by Great Cultivators of the Supreme Sect, even his master had arrived.

Seeing Su Ling open his eyes, the Great Cultivators around him began to ask questions.

“Disciple, how are you?”

“Did you receive the legacy?”

“What did you comprehend just now, what did you see?”

“Did you meet the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable? Speak quickly, you’re killing me with suspense!”

The Great Cultivators babbled questions, making Su Ling somewhat dazed, which only made them more anxious.

Su Ling came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said: “I received a legacy named the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe, taught by a man in white clothes. He looked… very young, very handsome. He merely pointed at me, and I learned the Heaven-Splitting Divine Axe.”

With these words, the Heaven-Repairing Platform exploded in commotion.

An elderly Elder exclaimed excitedly: “Young and handsome, isn’t that the legendary Supporting Dao Sword Venerable? It is said, he is immortal and amiable!”

Other Great Cultivators joined in agreement, showing more excitement than Su Ling himself.

Watching the surrounding people’s ecstatic expressions, Su Ling felt confused, even his usually stern master gazed at him intensely.

At this moment, he finally realized how exalted the status of the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable was.

He recalled Gu An’s appearance, his heart filled with boundless curiosity.

Was that person really the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable?

What level of cultivation did he possess?

Where could he be now?

…

In the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, Gu An was in a good mood while fishing, having fulfilled his wish by passing on the legacy of the Heaven-Splitting Axe.

There was no test or Fuyuan; choosing Su Ling was inevitable because he could see Su Ling’s entire future, confirming that Su Ling would bring prosperity to the Supreme Sect and to the world. Not only that, Su Ling upheld righteousness, leading other cultivators to act justly.

Currently, Gu An was contemplating another matter.

It involved reincarnating his previously deceased disciple into Su Ling’s descendant, hoping they would follow the righteous path under Su Ling’s guidance.

This was also to fulfill another disciple’s obsession.

Gu An gazed at the lake surface, recalling over forty million years ago when he led disciples like Tang Yu, Su Han, Zhen Qin, Yan Mei, Yang Min, Ye Yan, and others in cultivation.

Times have changed, most of those disciples have since embarked on reincarnation.

Gu An didn’t wish to pursue every disciple; he felt regret towards Su Han.

Su Han indeed strayed, but his life was too bitter, and at that time, Gu An wasn’t able to fully guide him.

Currently, even with blood vendettas, the Wushiji Disciples wouldn’t be pursued by an Imperial Dynasty or need to seek Immortal Fate alone.

Of course, most importantly, Zhen Qin still thought of him.

Though Zhen Qin didn’t enter the Beginningless cultivation, with Gu An’s subtle help, she had grown and stood out, becoming the founding ancestor of a sect with impressive status.

Even though she has achieved fame and success, her personality turned reclusive. Giving Su Han a chance also helped her.

For the current Gu An, such matters aren’t troublesome but interesting while aiding a beloved disciple.

This is the mindset shift after becoming powerful; previously cautious, now nothing in the Celestial Spirit Great World affects him.

Not just the Celestial Spirit Great World, he can handle anything in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, whether to act or not is solely up to him.

Gu An is increasingly less restrained, enjoying this process.

In the unseen, the ineffable Dao Heart Realm seemed to guide him.

He can now confirm.

To become a Saint requires transcending that Dao Heart Realm.

Even facing the Celestial Emperor, he felt confident, thus he’s in no hurry, enjoying life while understanding the so-called Saint Realm.

Slowly comprehending, if it doesn’t work, then risking life!

Things Gu An couldn’t achieve in cultivation over the years were made possible by risking life, which doesn’t negate his efforts as those experiences and insights were objectively existent.

As Gu An reminisced on the past, a figure approached, it was Zhuang Xian.

Over the years, Zhuang Xian had become steadier and carried an extraordinary aura.

He came behind Gu An and bowed respectfully, saying: “Ancestor, I have mastered the Supreme Dao Mixed Yuan Plate, would you care to examine?”

Gu An responded casually: “I don’t need to look with my eyes to know your Dao Practice; you indeed mastered it, though far from perfection.”

Zhuang Xian remarked: “The Supreme Dao Mixed Yuan Plate is indeed profound, with endless creation, from now on I will prioritize it, apart from my main cultivation technique, I won’t cultivate others.”

Gu An said nothing more.

Zhuang Xian’s eyes shifted, saying: “Ancestor, I wish to venture out again because I received your true teachings. Ancestor An’s expectations are higher, viewing me differently from other disciples. The secret skill I now possess might harm the world, whether I can venture out requires your approval.”

Gu An remained silent, leaving Zhuang Xian anxious. Not daring to say more, he stood quietly behind Gu An, waiting patiently.

Even if rejected, he accepted it.

After a long while.

Gu An spoke leisurely: “This world isn’t as simple as you think. The higher your cultivation level, the greater the calamities you face.”

Zhuang Xian hurriedly said: “I know, but compared to my personal achievements, I care more about how much I can accomplish.”

“If that’s the case, then go.”

“Thank you, Ancestor, I promise not to shame the Beginningless nor cause trouble for it or you.”

Zhuang Xian said excitedly, to which Gu An only smiled, without replying.

Each period, Wushiji Disciples venture out, but only Zhuang Xian warranted Gu An’s personal attention.

Zhuang Xian and Su Ling both are rare good people in Gu An’s eyes; Zhuang Xian is straightforward and just, while Su Ling is kind-hearted, yet gentle and carefree. Though both walk the Righteous Dao, their paths differ; Gu An looked forward to which roads their lives would take.

Afterward, Zhuang Xian took his leave.

Gu An continued fishing, only standing up to collect his rod when dusk fell.

The setting sun elongated his shadow.

While enjoying leisure, his other disciple faced a fated ordeal.

The disciple was Tian Hao, the reincarnation of An Hao.

Tian Hao, cultivating in the Misty Immortal Court, had reached a cultivation level to stand alone. He began his adventures in the Great Dao Domain, traveling within the Heavenly Dao beyond the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

On this day, he encountered a grand scheme targeting him and the Celestial Court!
